Thanks a lot for the responses, guys. I have some stuff to think about now and have a decent understanding.

Does the Lee challenger breech lock sound like a good entry system? I'm trying to keep the budget down for this. Would I need anything other than supplies and the small base dies?

Essentially what I'm asking is if I were to buy the Lee classic loader and the rounds have trouble chambering, what would I need to be get...a whole new reloading set or a new addition to the Lee loader? Plus, can I only use brass that's been shot in my rifle? What would I need in addition to the Le...

Does the Lee classic loader come with small base die options? I would like to get into reloading but don't want to break my wallet quite yet until I know I like it.

Gentlemen, I have a question about reloading for my BLR. I keep seeing people say that it is necessary to have small base dies for the BLR to properly cycle. I was going to start by reloading with a Lee classic loader, to see if I like it and want to do it as a hobby. Will this be a problem with the...

I will try the sierra 165's just to have a heavier round to go to, but gentlemen, my accuracy is not the issue. I've been asking if bedding a takedown barrel to its receiver will help reduce poi shift when pressure is added to the forend upon shooting? Or is it necessary to bed the barrel and forend...

I will look specifically for the bur today, but I have looked for seating and other issues in both the takedown area as well as taken off the forearm to look for the same in its locking screw. Doesn't seem like there is any issues. What I do notice is that there are raised spots in the forearm wood ...

Tycer Funny you should mention that. There is no quintissential rifle. They all have good and less than good points to them. In the BLR I tried to find the most versatile rifle. I felt that in a takedown, a BLR could be close to perfect. But again, you get something and you have to give up something...

Ben, that's sounds like it will be the next thing I do to try and solve this semi issue. The rifle is attached by one screw that locks the barrel in place when tightened. That's it. (I've tightened that screw by the way). In the non breakdown models it also attaches to a metal bar coming out of the ...

Ben, Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately, those scopes cut your field of view by quite a lot and I'm not a fan. Feels a bit awkward to me having it all the way up there. They also don't have such a big selection when it comes to scout scopes. I believe leupold makes the best one out there. P...

AJMD429 I looked at the link. Some of the stuff I have done and it makes sense. Some doesn't pertain because it's a takedown. Thanks for the link. Tman I have tried about 15 types of ammo. Only the heavy stuff (180gr) shoots slightly less accurate. Most of the other stuff from federal blue box to Ba...

Gentlemen, this is my first post and wanted to start by saying thank you for letting me be part of this community. I own a BLR stainless steel takedown chambered in 308 win. I have a Zeiss conquest 3-9x40 scope on the receiver on talley quick detach rings and mounts. I'm currently shooting Outback a...
